Do the t-shirts shrink?
Are they sized smaller or larger than regular t-shirts or are they pretty standard?

I'm going to buy one but need to make considerations for shrinkage and actual size.

Thanks! :chef:
 
It varies. They're made by different manufacturers, sometimes the same style has more than one maker, depending on the size.

I've got the scoop-neck tee in tea green, and I've found it to be true to size and non-shrinking. It's also held its shape well since I got it in July.
 
I got the red, black and purple tshirts. I thought they shrunk or it could be something I have done:blushing: :angel:

Yes, T-shirts from Merrill can shrink, especially if they are made from cotton or a cotton blend. It's important to follow the care instructions on the label to minimize shrinkage.

What causes T-shirts from Merrill to shrink?

The primary cause of shrinkage in T-shirts is the heat from washing and drying. When exposed to high temperatures, the fibers in the fabric can contract, leading to a smaller fit.

T-shirts made from synthetic blends, such as polyester or rayon mixed with cotton, tend to shrink less than 100% cotton T-shirts. Check the fabric content for better durability.

If your T-shirt has shrunk, you can try gently stretching it back to its original size while it's damp. However, results may vary, and some shrinkage may be permanent.
